Recombobulating on the radio (week of Feb. 2-8)
Featuring appearances on "The Maggie Daun Show," "Driving it Home with Patti Vasquez," "The Todd Allbaugh Show" and "Matenaer On Air."
The Recombobulation Area is a thirteen-time Milwaukee Press Club award-winning weekly opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. The Recombobulation Area is now part of Civic Media.
First, ICYMI, I wrote a column this week and it’s one I’ve been thinking about for a while. Pull up a steel chair and give this one a read.
I talked quite a bit about this column in these various radio appearances this week, and also promoted it as part of “The Recombobulation Minute,” which you can hear on the airwaves across the Civic Media network, and find on Civic Media’s instagram here.
I also talked about this column for most of the second hour on Friday’s edition of “Matenaer On Air.” So, for this week’s radio roundup, let’s start with that one here.
You can always find the show as a podcast here at Civic Media’s website, or in the podcast apps embedded below. The show airs 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. every weekday on the Civic Media network.
You can also watch the livestream of the show on Civic Media’s YouTube channel (my segment begins at about the 1:01:00 mark).
Every Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., I’ll be joining “The Maggie Daun Show” for a new segment called the “State Slate” to talk about state political news in Wisconsin. This week, we talked about the start of early voting and the Spring Election cycle, and legislation on immigration being proposed by Republicans.
Find the show online here, and find the podcast (22:00) and video streams (29:00) below. The show airs 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. every weekday on the Civic Media network.
On Tuesday evenings, I join my friend Patti Vasquez on Chicago’s WCPT 820 and Heartland Signal for “Driving it Home” to talk about all things Wisconsin politics.
Listen to the show here (26:00).
On Thursday, I joined Todd Allbaugh for “The Todd Allbaugh Show” to talk about my column on the Pro Wrestling Republicans. We also talked about Khris Middleton being traded, and what the Bucks might do at the trade deadline.
Listen (21:30) and watch (1:25:00) below. The show airs 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. every weekday on the Civic Media network.
Mr. Allbaugh also contributed a piece at The Recombobulation Area this week, which you can find here.
Thanks for listening, reading and watching!
Have a great weekend. We’ll see you next week.
